The second prince casually tossed the silk handkerchief he had used to wipe his hands onto the cut flower branch, and the white silk was quickly stained with the sap seeping from the broken branch.

"Tell Carlos," his voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable chill.

"Go and learn properly how to 'please' a female insect. If you can't even make a difference in this area..."

He tilted his head slightly. "He'll just wait until his mental strength level completely collapses and he becomes a complete waste."

"...Yes." The subordinate's voice was tense.

The second prince withdrew his gaze. "As for the rest, proceed according to the original plan."

"Yes!" the subordinate replied, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly turned and left.

Only the Second Prince and one insect remained on the terrace.

He picked up the shears again and slowly continued to trim the stellar orchid.

[Hot Topic on StarNet: #Should Major General Ailand step down as guardian of the insects?# Breaking News]

Popular comments are refreshed in real time:

"Silver Glory": Do you have any conscience? Who was the Major General lying there protecting?! And now you want him to resign as his guardian? You're kicking him while he's down!

"Rationality First": Guarding the border is the duty of female soldiers, but is it right to make male insects suffer alongside plant insects? @SilverGlory, your moral blackmail is the most ridiculous!

"Lorraine for life": Lord Lin Luo's gaze towards the Major General was so gentle! What gives you the right to make decisions for him?

"Reality is cruel": Can looks put food on the table? After the military stopped paying salaries, how do A-grade male insects maintain their decent lives? @Loran_Lifelong_ThumbsUp Don't let movie plots hijack reality!

"Carlos is right": A female insect that can't even stay conscious is not worthy of an A-grade male insect! It's a waste of precious bloodline!

"The Unsinkable Silver Wing": If heroes are abandoned like this in the end, who will be willing to shed blood for the Zerg in the future? Will the regrets in the movie be repeated in reality?!

"The data speaks for itself": According to Article 37 of the Male Insect Protection Act, if the male insect fails in its duty of care, the male insect has the right to terminate the relationship. The law is on Mr. Carlos's side!

"Old soldiers never die": The law may be cold-blooded, but the hearts of us Zerg cannot be cold! Back on the front lines, it was the Major General who led us to safety!

"Reproduction First": Grade A males should have more females! This is for the future of the entire Zerg race!

"One life, one love, one pair of insects": Disgusting! Treating precious feelings as a breeding plan? What do you take Lord Lin Luo for?

"Frontline Soldier": If they treat Major General Ailand like this today, they'll treat every fallen female soldier the same way tomorrow! It's heartbreaking!

"Male Insect Rights Concern Group": @Frontline Soldier, don't confuse the issue! We are discussing the safety and well-being of male insects, not medals of honor!

Lin Luo rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling as if something was tapping and banging inside his head.

The Zerg's alcohol was so potent that he now desperately missed the "mild" drinks on Earth.

What's worse, he discovered that he hadn't blacked out at all!

Last night's absurd and embarrassing scenes kept replaying in my mind.

How did I stumble into Ayland's bedroom carrying a wine glass? How did I end up kneeling by the bed, muttering "This drink is so good," while clumsily pouring the wine into the sleeping female insect's mouth, spilling it everywhere...?

Even later... he did something so shameful!

"Ugh! Damn it!" Lin Luo buried her face in her palms, her ears turning bright red, her toes curling up awkwardly, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself right there.

"Okay! I have amnesia! I don't remember!"

He shook his head vigorously, beginning to hypnotize himself, "Yes, that's it, I don't remember anything that happened after I got drunk last night!"

Anyway, Ayland can't expose him now. As long as he unilaterally declares amnesia, it's as if the whole thing never happened! Yes, that's it!

To escape this suffocating embarrassment, Lin Luo quickly opened his personal terminal, connected to the StarNet, and tried to use the vast amount of network information to wash away his dark history.

However, as soon as he opened the homepage, he was bombarded with an explosive trending topic—

#Carlos publicly questions Aylande's guardianship rights#, followed by a bright red "explosive" character.

Lin Luo's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously clicked on it.

When he saw through Carlos's seemingly high-sounding but actually malicious remarks, and the fiercely chaotic comment section below, his lingering drunkenness and embarrassment were instantly replaced by anger and coldness.

He quickly swiped the screen, browsing the ever-changing public opinion trends.

To his surprise, public opinion was not overwhelmingly in support of Carlos.

Many people influenced by the film, after learning about Ayland's true achievements, perhaps with the simple wish to prevent the tragedy in the film from repeating itself in reality, spontaneously stood up and spoke out for Ayland.

【The Watchers Under the Stars】: In the movie, when the protagonist is asleep, all the insects are waiting for him to wake up.

Why are we so quick to abandon our heroes in reality? Major General Ailand deserves a chance!

This comment received a lot of likes and support.

Of course, the opposing voices are equally sharp and realistic:

[The Future is More Important]: Feelings can't put food on the table! Let's be realistic! What can a comatose female insect, about to lose her position, bring to an A-grade male insect? A burden? Lord Lin Luo deserves a better future!

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and the debate became extremely heated.

Those who support Ailand emphasize the value of merit, honor, and emotion; those who demand a change of guardian worms champion practicality, safety, and the well-being of male worms.

Each side seems to have reasons that cannot be easily refuted.

Lin Luo frowned as he looked at the densely packed arguments.

He shut down the StarNet, took a deep breath, and turned to look at the still-sleeping Eland.

"It seems," Lin Luo muttered to himself, his eyes gradually sharpening, "that some insects think we're too easy to bully."

A few minutes later, a new update, like cold water thrown into a pot of boiling oil, instantly ignited the entire StarNet:

【Lin Luo V】

Thank you all for your concern, and thank you to Dr. Parks for his tireless efforts.

We have some good news to share: After the latest phase of treatment and observation, Dr. Parks confirmed that Major General Eland's mental state has shown significant and stable signs of improvement.

We firmly believe that Major General Ailand will be able to wake up and personally fulfill all his duties as a military female and guardian insect before his military post retention period expires.

During this time, I will stay by his side. Rumors stop with the wise, and please believe in our perseverance and efforts.

This post, though brief, contained explosive information—his mental state has improved! He is expected to wake up during his job retention period!
